The Parsha Perspective

Parshas Vayeishev: Path to Peace

The Parsha Perspective is in honor of Eretz Yisroel.

May G-d protect our brave soldiers.

May G-d return all the hostages in Gaza immediately.

The Parsha Perspective is in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia. May their souls be uplifted and their memories a blessing.

The release date of this episode is Yud-Tes Kislev, celebrated as the Rosh Hashanah of Chassidus. On this day, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the Alter Rebbe and founder of the Chabad movement, was released from imprisonment in Russia—a defining moment in the history of Chassidus. His liberation marked heavenly affirmation for spreading the "inner soul" of Torah to the masses.

Yud-Tes Kislev calls us to deepen our connection to the inner dimensions of Torah and spread its light, propelling us toward the ultimate redemption.

Our Parsha begins with Ya'akov Avinu settling in Chevron with his four wives and twelve children. He loved Yosef, the firstborn of his wife Rochel, more than the rest of his children. To show his affection, Ya'akov crafted a unique, multi-colored coat for Yosef—a visible sign of his deep love and favoritism.

We find out his intention when he returned to settle in Chevron.

We learn the two levels of peace and how they are achieved.
